We have a newly renovated farm house with lots of land, just off highway 421 N. It's a 20 minute drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway or a 30 minute drive to Boone NC. Our house is the perfect place to stay for Appalachian State football games. Or if you're coming to town for Carolina in the Fall or Merlefest! We are a 10 minute drive to the festivals. Our place is good for couples, children, solo guests and business travelers. If you're looking for peace and quiet, you've come to the right place!

We have a one hundred year old farmhouse with lots of character and charm. It has been recently renovated and its located on a quiet piece of land in the country. We have two bedrooms upstairs with queen beds and a private bathroom.

Our house is located just off highway 421 N. It's a 20 minute drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you've never been to the Parkway, it's a must! There's hiking, sightseeing, biking, fishing, kayaking, camping, etc. You also don't want to miss a trip to Boone, Blowing Rock or Banner Elk, which is about a 30 minute drive. There are a lot of really good vineyards, breweries and restaurants. Shopping in the high country is always a must! If you're looking to go in a different direction, you can visit Stone Mountain State Park for hiking, sightseeing, biking, rock climbing or picnicking. There are also a lot of great vineyards and breweries in this area. My husband and I have lived here our whole lives. We also graduated from Appalachian State, so we know a lot about the high country and foothills. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Absolutely adoring accommodation's with basic amenities. Two of the guest room are ajoined making it quite suitable for a small family or group of friends. Rustic house rebuilt with modern features and host were quite helpful and friendly.

Jonathan2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

I want to say what a wonderful time we had staying here. It was such a great time of refreshment. The house was lovingly restored, nestled on a quiet hill surrounded by beautiful farmland. Mornings were so quiet and still. William and Mary Anna suggested restaurants and places to visit and we were never disappointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend their home.

Barbara2017-08-22T00:00:00Z

Probably the nicest people I've ever met. It was a relaxing, comfortable place to stay in a beautiful rural location. I even saw a few deer on the way out in the morning. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

George 2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

Mary Anna's home is charming and the country setting is so peaceful! I enjoyed visiting with both Mary Anna and her husband. Wonderful couple! Their puppy is cute and friendly. The room was great and I slept well in their home. I recommend staying with them.

Our place is at 2,500' elevation, ceiling fans to keep you cool. For winter, central heat or a fireplace keeps you snug and warm. It is so quiet you can hear wild turkeys crossing the driveway. It is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, New River, the Wilkesboros, West Jefferson, Boone (30 min.), Virginia Creeper Trail (1 hr.), W. Kerr Scott Lake (16 miles with great mountain biking). We think you will enjoy the coziness and mountain views. Our place is good for couples and solo adventurers.

The bedroom looks out into a leafy space. Quiet sitting on the deck reveals bird sounds and sometimes wild turkey, deer or foxes. Rarely, a shy black bear makes an appearance in the blackberry thatches that line the roadway. At twilight you sometimes see a bat or two chasing bugs. A dark night showcases lightening bugs and millions of stars. It is nature alive, but only a fifteen minute drive to Coffee House, Food Lion and Bojangles Chicken.

We are only two miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway with hiking on the Mountain to Sea trail. We are about 20 minutes to the New River for canoeing or tubing. Other water sports are available at W.Kerr Scott Lake, which has several parks, boat and kayak launching.

This was one of the best experiences I've had on airbnb.com. The cabin was perfect and the hosts were exceptionally accommodating as I made the rental request at 10:32pm the night before I was to arrive. By 8:40am the next morning I was confirmed and in communication with Jerre and Madeline. The cabin was clean, the bed comfy and the outdoor shower perfectly set to look through the woods. The setting is very private with decent parking at the top of the drive or under the carport. There is no AC which was a plus to me. There are plenty of ceiling fans and the host provided a window box fan. To help keep the cabin cool there was a very convenient and thoughfully placed gas oven on the porch. There was no Wi-Fi which could be considered a drawback. I have Verizon and service was excellent so I had online access. Travel time to neighboring WF. Jefferson was 20 minutes and then Blue Ridge Parkway was indeed just minutes away. 5 out of 5 stars across the board.

Ross2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Very nice, secluded foothill location near the Blue Ridge Parkway and near enough to Wilkesboro. As others have noted, very clean place--modern, well-equipped cabin. Appreciated the breakfast items in the fridge! Friendly folks and perfect hosts. Only downside was no cell phone or Internet access, for AT&T and Sprint, anyway.

Hank2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

We had a nice stay at Jerre and Madeline's cabin. It's a cozy rustic little cabin, private, and nice for a couple's getaway. It's stocked with anything you may need and the hosts were great!

Jen2017-07-20T00:00:00Z

The cabin in the woods was a nice quiet place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We saw a deer while drinking our morning coffee on the deck. You can't beat the view when looking out the back.

William2016-10-24T00:00:00Z

The stay was absolutely wonderful! I stayed in a clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated cabin. It's a cozy place for a single guest or a couple. The setting is scenic and peaceful, with a beautiful view of the mountains from the deck. Jerre and Madeline were very friendly, gracious hosts and made sure I was comfortable. They introduced themselves at check in and were a walk down the road or a phone call away if I needed anything. They are very knowledgable of the area and could give me directions and recommendations to interesting sights or restaurants. They also keep maps and brochures of local points of interest. The cabin and stay itself exceeded my expectations going in and if I'm ever in the area again I will definitely come back!

Glen2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely time this weekend! This home is beautiful and exactly what we were looking for!

Jerre & his wife were super friendly & accommodating! The cabin was a perfect weekend getaway!!

Colleen2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

The room is spacious with comfortable queen size and twin beds, sharing a bath.
Feel free to use the lovely kitchen with dining and a beautiful large sun room – also a comfortable deck with grill.
My place is good for couples, solo guests, business travelers and families.

Angela and Charles were an exceptional couple to meet upon first arriving in the area. Charles met me and my dad outside in the dark as we were looking for their house (I recommend using the (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps GPS). They were very kind and hospitable providing all amenities we might need. We had everything we needed in a clean and beautiful environment. I wished I'd had more time to check out Angela's garden and learn some tips from her obvious green thumb, but we just hadn't the time.

Kara2017-03-11T00:00:00Z

Very beautiful house and kind hosts in great location. Angela and Charles made us feel we were in our own home. We enjoyed everything from Angela's elegant garden and pottery master pieces, to Charles beautiful music. We had wonderful stay. We would come back on our way to the mountain and Blue Ridge Parkway!

Very gracious hosts with a beautiful house. Angela and Charles made us feel very welcome and made us feel that we were experiencing a real and beautiful part of North Carolina! We would come back whenever we pass nearby!

Very private log cabin on 100 acres of mature forest, with a nice small stream and waterfall. Situated at end of a 2-mile public gravel road, with a half-mile private drive leading to the cabin.

Lots of trails thru the woods, great hiking and birding, bears, deer, and turkeys frequent the land. No hunting. Small orchard with Apple and Pear trees, greenhouse for wintertime sauna.

If you want a private setting to get away from it all, this is it! A very quiet retreat bring your books, movies and hiking boots. We enjoyed having a fireplace and seeing a small waterfall on the property.

Ann2017-04-07T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic time, a very relaxing getaway! The cabin was crafted with care, very comfortable, great front deck and back porch. It was a good time walking and exploring the property. Nature is right there enveloping you, and no people coming and going, if that is what you seek to enjoy. It was fun to spot the owl, deer, different birds, and other residents. Lots of green to soak in visually. Dark sky full of stars in clear weather, very nice. You might encounter no cell reception, but internet is quite welcome. Guy is very responsive and his communication was appreciated! Best wishes for him and that beautiful nature preserve- many thanks!

Rufus2017-08-09T00:00:00Z

This is a great location to get away from it all. Relax and hike in the quiet solitude and get back in touch with nature. Beautiful hand crafted cabin. Our pets loved it as well!

Brenda2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

I was looking for a secluded and quiet location that was dog-friendly. This was exactly what I got. The only noises I heard were the birds and insects outside. There's a fenced-in orchard which was great for the dogs although we hiked off-leash as well throughout the woods. Overall, if you are looking for a nice quiet getaway, this is the place. It was hard to leave.

Absolutely gorgeous cabins and place to stay. Dima was a great host to us and our dogs. The cabin was in immaculate condition and made our stay feel just like home. Loved how peaceful the location was and walking around the property. We will definitely stay there again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in the area.

Vic & Kat2017-06-21T00:00:00Z

Had an AMAZING time here over the weekend! Had everything we needed and the hosts were always easily reachable and gave us a lot of great suggestions for things to do in the area. The cabins are very cute and the atmosphere was AMAZING. Mia the puppy is the best dog on the planet!!

MacKenzie2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Great vacation! So fun to get away and see nature. Boone North Carolina is a great afternoon/meal venture. The place is so cute and amazing views. Try the Park vista restaurant about 2 miles away!

Sawyer2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

In my AirBnB experience, most hosts are used to long weekend visits, typically less than ten days. Due to my occupation, I look for places to live in the 4-6 week range. This can create some uneasiness in both parties, and makes my search more meticulous. The team at Sky Retreat (Julie, Merin, Dima) handled my stay with professionalism and kindness, dissipating any concerns I had. I stayed between Oct and December. The land itself is just off the parkway, and has some breathtaking views from the large hill where the paragliding occurs. Connected to their house is a deck used as a dance floor, and dancing at sunset or under the stars is rather hard to beat. There is so little light pollution; I’d find myself sitting on the back porch just staring at the sky many a night. There are more amenities that are in the works and under construction, and I have no doubt they will be amazing. There are several cabins around a lake nearby enough to walk to yet maintain privacy. It was clean, comfortable, and had the basic necessities. The team is an eclectic group, each with a contagious passion for enjoying life. Their lives are fascinating, and I find it rare to meet people who are so open-minded and genuine. They were very attentive, thoughtful to my needs, and knowledgeable in the area for any recreational recommendations. I’d recommend Sky Retreat for any stay, short or long, solo or otherwise. I’ll definitely be back.

Lawrence2016-12-22T00:00:00Z

Sky's place was everything we hoped for and more! The cabin was spacious and clean - I felt like I was staying in a nice hotel just out in the middle of the woods! Our host was super nice and accommodating. My pup was treated just like us humans and enjoyed the trip as much as we did. Also- the view from the top of the hill is breathtaking. Go watch the sunset and sunrise and you will be amazed! This was a great trip and the perfect place to stay -- we will definitely be back!

Alexandra2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

Sky Retreat was awesome. The cabins were brand new, clean and had everything we needed. Dima was a great communicator and treated us like his personal guests. We went kayaking and had a lot of fun. The views are amazing as well. To future travellers: pack food or the trip to the grocery store is about 10 miles away. There is a good restaurant close by for lunch and dinner.

Larissa2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

This property is ideal for a relaxing stay. We spent most of our time on the deck watching the thunderstorms develop over the mountains. The views are incredible and it is conveniently located right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. At night, we threw open the windows and enjoyed a cool refreshing breeze that lulled us to sleep. Would stay here again in a minute.

Gail2017-07-15T00:00:00Z

Sky Resort is the perfect place for a quiet getaway. We had a fantastic stay. It's so convenient to the parkway and mountains to sea trail, and Boone is a short 30 minute drive away. Julie was a great host and made check-in super easy. It was easy to relax on the deck with our dogs and walk around the property. Would definitely return, since there's more to explore in the area.

Neha2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

We booked this location for a quick escape from the heat to the NC mountains. The rental was gorgeous, very quiet setting near the Blue Ridge Parkway. Everything you could need for a day, week, month is provided. Kitchen is fully equipped, gorgeous log cabin with everything you need, including a secluded back deck. Hosts were friendly and offered great restaurant ideas, then left us to ourselves. Would love to go back for a week.

We had such a great time. Our hosts were the best. The space was much bigger than anticipated. Would definitely recomend/ return

Greta2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed our stay here. Anita and Bob were friendly without being intrusive, and the apartment was lovely. The all wood interior was rustic but, at the same time, thanks to modern style and high ceilings, very sleek and restful. It was equipped with everything we needed. Bed was quite comfortable and it was wonderfully quiet! I will say that the description of 'fantastic views of the hills' led me to imagine we would have some open sky and/or a long range vista, but the apartment is pretty surrounded--by woods in the back and one side, the host's side yard on the other side, and leafy trees in front, so there were no views to speak of. (Perhaps that is different in a different season.) That said, it not feel enclosed, and we didn't really mind. Went kayaking on the New River and slept like babies that night--very restful stay!

Margaret2017-07-21T00:00:00Z

Anita and Jim were great hosts and their property is just amazing and quiet. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. We will be back again!

Off grid cabin. My place is close to west jefferson, blue ridge parkway, new river, boone. You’ll love my place because of the outdoors space. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and families (with kids).
Get away from it all! Enjoy the quiet beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains with a view from your bedroom. Light & airy, lots of windows. Hiking. please note this is an off grid cabin; without electricity.. outhouse. this is a great alternative to camping on the ground.

great open space...you can hear only nature & the relaxation it brings. there are 3 twin beds, 1 full bed, and a hammock for sleeping. there is a camping stove for cooking.

The place is clean and cozy , the fire place makes the place hot even when the temperature was in 30s. The host provided tons of woods for us. The place is very private and quiet. The interior is decided rated with original art works and overall it's a great experience.

This was such an amazingly peaceful place to stay. Me and three of my friends stayed here for a couple days just to get away and relax. The host was very kind, and the house was beautiful, secluded, and so much fun to stay in. It was very simple but welcoming.

Nicolas2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

Great Cabin, perfect for couples or family getaway. Overall, a great experience. The cabin was well equipped with all the essentials. The host Christian responded promptly as needed. My wife and dog had a great time. I'm sure we will be coming back in the near future.

Diego2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

This place is exactly as advertised. Bring some camp chairs and you will have a great camping experience yet get to sleep in a super comfy bed.

My wife and I + two young boys (4 & 6 yrs) had a blast staying at Christian's off the grid little cabin. It was completely secluded on the top of a hill surrounded with Christmas trees. Bonus! We felt comfortable letting our kids play on the property within earshot. Christian was very helpfull. For example the last 100 yards our car couldn't make it up the steap gravel drive so he came out and loaded all our stuff in his 4x4 and delivered us to our doorstep. He and his young kids made sure we had plenty of fire wood to stay warm and cook with too. We acted like we were camping and were well equipped (sleeping bags, flashlights, folding chairs/table & cooking gear) We spent the day at Stone Mt park and West Jefferson.

My place is close to nightlife and parks. You’ll love my place because of the coziness, the views, and the location. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

This is a 3 bedroom small cottage where I the host live. The guest bedrooms are located upstairs within the cottage. The 1st bedroom has a full size bed and the 2nd is furnished with a twin size bed. This cottage was built in 1935 with beautiful old country charm!

Nice little country cottage very clean woke up to horses and chickens very scenic host was very accommodating would stay again

Plus comme un site de couchsurfing. Très rustique comme cottage.

Richard2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

The Anderson Cottage is a quaint small home, with 2 bedrooms that are typical for the style and age of the home. One is equipped with a twin bed, the other with a full. As with cottages the ceiling height upstairs is a bit on shorter side; I would guess it's about 78-80 inches / 200 cm. Amenities I appreciated: internet (50d/5u), washer & dryer, full kitchen access, ideas from the host on what to see and where to eat. One last thing: on sunny morning’s you can peer out the kitchen window towards to see Wilber (the pig) and the 3 horses.

Paul2017-04-07T00:00:00Z

Amazing homey environment. Excellent host.

Scott2017-05-19T00:00:00Z

I hate to write this review because we would love to keep The Anderson Cottage our little secret for when we return to Merlefest. But, fair is fair, and we hope Brandon gets all the guests that he would like. First - general conditions. Exceptionally clean. There are two bedrooms upstairs - one a single, the other fits two. We shared the room for two and the bed was very comfortable. There was a window a/c in the other room which served the second floor very well (and it was in the mid 90s when we were there). Downstairs has a shower room as well as a room with tub/sink/toilet and the washer/dryer was adjacent. The kitchen/dining area is bright and cheerful and Brandon was a sport about sharing space in the refrigerator and freezer. There is also a very comfortable and inviting front parlor (where we would curl up with a book at the end of the day to unwind or catch up on emails - the wifi signal is good) as well as a front porch with comfy chairs where one might want to enjoy their morning coffee. Bottom line - the photos and descriptions are representative of what you will find at the cottage. In terms of convenience, we loved being just a few miles away from Merlefest, and there is a Food Lion close by in case you need some last minute groceries. The cottage is easy to find and has reasonable access to major routes (so you're not going down windy, rutty roads in the middle of the night). There is space for parking as well. Cautions: 1) This IS a cottage. It's cozy, it's clean and comfortable and nicely decorated inside and out - but it IS a cottage. If you want a lot of moving around space, you may feel constrained here. 2) The guest bedrooms are upstairs. So, if you have mobility issues, this would not be a good fit for you. (note - we're in our 60s, a little chubby, but we managed just fine) Also keep in mind that the "facilities" are downstairs. Wasn't a problem for us, but again, for folks with mobility issues, this would be an issue. 3) The upstairs rooms are small with a lower ceiling height. Tall people need to be aware of their surroundings. However, one member of our party is 6'4" and managed just fine. So, it's a matter of watching where you're going (pretty good advice for life in general). 4) Brandon, the host, is wonderful - quick to respond to messages, or give advice/information about things in the area. We wish our schedule would have permitted us to have more time with him (and more time out on his porch).

Loretta and Robert's place was just what we needed - quiet and simple and close enough to drive to Wilkesboro! It is very much like camping which we enjoy, the beauty in the evening with the setting sun over the grape vine was relaxing and calm. We were the only ones there other than another family, so we were even upgraded for free! They are building and updating so there are a few things laying around, but I'm excited to see the finished product. Thanks again for a simple night's rest in nature!

Rachael2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

First Cabin was very cute, conveniently located across from the bathrooms, and cozy! We only were staying overnight but I would have been happy to stay longer! There was a ceiling fan, box fan, and a mini fridge. Bathrooms were clean and functional, although the water doesn't get much more than lukewarm, so be prepared in the shower. :-D The hosts were very welcoming and responsive to text messages. I would happily stay again and probably will!

Whether you are looking to have a romantic getaway for two or to making new family memories, The Mountain Retreat is the perfect place for you! This gem of a cabin is perched on the hillside with everything you need for the ultimate retreat.

The Mountain Retreat is a wonderfully cozy cabin situated on several acres deep in the mountains of North Carolina, in close proximity to Boone, Blowing Rock, West Jefferson and Wilkesboro. The Mountain Retreat is the PERFECT spot for a romantic retreat for 2 or a small family. There is 1 bedroom with a queen bed and a queen size sofa bed in the living room. There is room for an inflatable queen size air mattress if needed (it would be very cozy). Just a stone's throw from the cabin there is the pleasant sound of a mountain stream. The terrain surrounding the cabin is full of plants, flowers, shrubs and fruit trees. We even have a gazebo with swing and a doll house for you to enjoy!

The Mountain Retreat is just a few miles away from the Blue Ridge Parkway and located in a charming cabin community called Creekside Estates. There are only a handful of cabins in the neighborhood, so you can rest assured to experience a most special stay. The Mountain Retreat is located 15 minutes from Boone and 20 minutes to West Jefferson and 30 minutes Blowing Rock. The Blue Ridge Parkway is only 4 miles from the cabin.

Richard's cabin was an awesome mountain getaway. It was the perfect size place for my girlfriend and I while we were visiting Boone and Beech Mountain. We really enjoyed relaxing in the gazebo, on the porch and on the bench in the garden. The garden was beautiful and full of blooming flowers. I wished we would have stayed longer!

Richard's cabin was a great place to unwind and relax. Very close to amazing views along the BRP, and a short drive to Blowing Rock, Boone, and West Jefferson. Cabin was perfect for two and has all the amenities needed. I would definitely enjoy staying here again!!

This spot is a great one! I stayed here with my two children ages nine and 12 who spent a lot of time hiking in the woods behind the house. The fireplace is great and unlike most rentals, the bed and linens are fabulous. The Wi-Fi is excellent though I could get no cell reception up here. You will have to go to the main road most likely to get reception. Also, the nearest grocery store is a pretty good distance away so come prepared. This is a great Airbnb! Big thanks to Richard for letting us stay.

This cabin is by far the best cabin possible! It's relaxing and very private. Has an amazing view and is very clean. I would recommend this place to anyone in the mood for a romantic get away or even a relaxation area! Loved it and would give it 50000stars if I could lol.

Franchesca 2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

Exactly as described! Great place to get away for the weekend, with only a short drive to both Boone and West Jefferson

Ashton2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

This is a darling cabin! Quiet and very well equipped. Loved staying here and would definitely book again.

Carole2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

This cabin is cozy and perfect to relax. It is located in a quiet neighborhood and it is comfortable for two people. Close to Boone and Blowing Rock.

What a wonderful stay at the Mountain Retreat! We were there for two nights in connection with an Open House event at Appalachian State University in Boone. The cabin was very convenient to our event, and is a lovely and charming place! Richard is a very thoughtful host and made sure we had all of the information we needed to find the cabin and to get settled. Once inside, we found all the comforts of home away from home. We can't wait to stay there again the next time we're in the area!

David was a great host. This is my first experience with AirBnB and I love it!!! It was more than expected.

David was a great host! My room was clean and quiet. Was great getting to know David and his son. His firewalking background was fascinating! Was very helpful educating me on things to do in the area. Hope to come again some time.

Our hosts David, David Jr and their lovely dog Blaze were very pleasant, friendly and helpful. The bedroom is spacious and the bed is super comfortable. The bathroom is also very good. The outside sitting area is quite nice and comfortable. We got full use of their living room and kitchen. Overall we had a very comfortable stay. We recommend David's place to everyone.

David's cabin I would definitely recommend for a nice get away if your in the area. My friend and I really enjoyed our stay. David's son was a great host when we arrived and he provided us all the details about places to go and eat and to have a good time. The cabin was very relaxing and made us feel like we were at home. The room was nice and spacious and very clean. If we ever decided to come back we would definitely stay here again.

Shamelia2016-12-05T00:00:00Z

Dave was a great host, he was very helpful and informative with everything in the area. The hospitality that was received was like none other. The room was spacious and very clean and made it comfortable to spend our week. Best airbnb that I've stayed at thus far! Would definitely recommend and plan to visit again.

You can come and go freely as you have a separate entry to entire lower level apartment of cabin with your own private deck. This space includes a chaise lounge for naps/quiet time, chairs for reading, table for morning coffee and enjoying the soothing sounds of nature, and a hanging swing and chair for viewing/enjoying the beauty of the mountains/nature. This is an ideal get-away for serenity, peace and quiet. There are several hiking trails to walk plus a hardy hike down to the bottom of our property to view/enjoy the crystal clear babbling brook with a beautiful cascade that flows into a natural area for taking a dip in the cool water.

We are blessed to be a part of a quiet, friendly and fantastic neighborhood.

The time we spent up at Taylor's Peak was short, but full of sweet surprises at every corner! We were warmly greeted by Jim, Sue and Casey the puppy (who we almost snuck in our car back to Atlanta). My parents, fiance and I came to Boone from Atlanta to visit our grandparents but almost didn't make it because we instantly felt like family with Jim and Sue. We will definitely be back as soon as we can for the serenity of the place cannot be matched!

Ashlea2017-06-10T00:00:00Z

Sue and Jim were incredibly welcoming to us and our pup. They came out to greet us and show us around as soon as we arrived. Their place is in a beautiful and secluded area about 20 minutes from Boone, close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and close to plenty of great hiking. Throughout our stay, Sue and Jim made us feel comfortable and made sure we had everything we needed. We also enjoyed learning about the camp they run!

Beth2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

Fantastic location, bonuses and couple. Thank you for the read! Great hiking trails on the property.

Rebecca2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

We were warmly welcomed by Jim and Sue upon our arrival. They gave us a tour of the grounds and provided us with wonderful snacks and other goodies! The cabin is very secluded and sits perfectly on top of the peak. The hiking trail and creek were also very cool! The room was the entire bottom floor of the cabin, with Jim and Sue staying on the top two floors. The cabin is a easy and beautiful 25 min drive into Boone, with the Blueridge parkway conveniently located less than 10 minutes away. We enjoyed all of our meals either in Boone or Blowing Rock. Jim and Sue were very friendly, attentive, and kind host. They both have amazing stories and are a pleasure to talk to!

Can't t tell you how awesome this place would be for you. But I can tell you that you would love it. Such peace place to relax and get to meet awesome ppl. Thanks Jim & Sue for being a great host. Hope to see you in Ecuador.

IvStephy2017-03-16T00:00:00Z

Jim era muy sensible y comunicativa. Gran experiencia Airbnb.

Jennifer2016-05-16T00:00:00Z

Jim and Sue were incredible hosts! We felt right at home from the very first moment. We were very blessed with a relaxing and peaceful time. Our area was very nice and private. We felt like if we had known Jim and Sue for years. Thank you so much! we will definitively be back and highly recommend it!!!

José-Iva2016-06-29T00:00:00Z

I loved this place! The house's backyard has different types of guided trails. It also had a great view to the mountains. Plus, Jim and Sue were excellent hosts; not to mention that they do this to help out kids with Autism. Only there for a night, but it was worth it.

Looking to escape the fast-paced life of the city? This private 1920 farmhouse of the Parkway is the perfect solution. This 10 acre retreat takes you back to a time when life was simple while you relax in the hot tub, listening to the rushing stream.

Relax on the covered front porch overlooking the pond and pasture, and listen to the soothing sounds of the rushing stream and the joyful chorus of nature. Curl up with a book in one of the home's cozy nooks, or go for a invigorating morning walk along the gravel roads or trails through the many acres of mature forests that surround the house. Kick back in the hot tub on the cool nights and enjoy the firefly show, start a warm fire in the fire pit, or just lay out under the stars of the protected Dark Skies area to take in the magnificence of creation.
hot tub on the back deck, high speed wi-fi, firepit and patio stone fire pit and charcoal grill, 10 acres to wander with no neighbors around
none. combo lockbox is at the door for access
private and just 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and 20-25 miles from West Jefferson and Boone, 40 minutes from Blowing Rock

very private, 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway, 25 minutes to Boone or West Jefferson

Nestled away at the bottom of the hill we found the cabin. What a wonderful mountain hide away. We were 6 people, (2 children) and it was great. The firewood stove was a real treat and kept it nice and toasty. Only thing was that the bathroom was very chilly and as it was winter a few extra blankets would be nice, but we made it work. It is a really wonderful cabin, rustic yet with all the modern amenities, like really fast wifi! Would definitely love to come back sometime! Thank you Benjamin.

House is nice. Difficult to get to but its secluded! Beautiful property. House was dirty when we got there. Ton of bugs. Trash left in rooms. Towels left on floor.

Khalid2017-01-07T00:00:00Z

The cabin in the perfect location. It didn't take us too long to get to Boone or West Jefferson for groceries, but we were totally secluded at the cabin. The sound of the creek is so peaceful, and it was the perfect place for our dog to play and for me to take photos.

Tasha2015-07-13T00:00:00Z

We are so grateful to have gotten a mountain getaway at the Writer's Cabin. The doggies enjoyed the creek so much, and we enjoyed being able to soak sore muscles in the hot tub after a day's hike. The access road we used off of the parkway was steep, so I recommend knowing how to downshift automatic cars on steep grades, and that first timer's not arrive after dark or during perilous weather, unless you are mountain trained. Bring in groceries on the way, and enjoy the quiet. The creek sounds lovely from the porch.

Jen2015-06-26T00:00:00Z

A wonderful trip into the woods! The beds were comfortable, the wood stove was hot, the hot tub was relaxing, and the stars were gorgeous. We had a lovely weekend. There's nothing I'd change about it. Word of advice for folks that want to book in the future - bring firewood, and bring hotdogs. The grocery store is pretty far away, so make sure you plan that part in advance.

My place is close to Blue Ridge Parkway, Merlefest, Stone Mountain, restaurants and dining. You’ll love my place because of the views and charm of setting. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

Debra is a great hostess with a beautiful home. The outdoor space is wonderful and relaxing as well. Breakfast was included and we appreciated the time she spent visiting with us. Would definitely stay here again if given the opportunity.

Tracy2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

I wish I can give six stars instead of 5, Great place and great host. Felt at home and the host were accommodating and respectful. Will surely go again, and let Debra use our place when she is ready for her trip.

Amish2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

What shall we say...we were treated like royal guests and family at the same time! We enjoyed the house, hospitality, breakfast and the area like rarelyanything else... would be back in a heartbeat!
